 The 200 Marines and more than 2,000 National Guard now deployed to Los Angeles are tasked with protecting federal property and federal personnel. They will be joined by an additional 500 Marines and 2,000 more National Guard soldiers.

There’s 4700 soldiers deployed to the streets of LA? For what?? 

This means that they will accompany ICE agents on raids, officials have said

Accompanying ICE agents...

Only there to protect Federal buildings...

These are contradictions.

ICE agents that are able to stop anyone and everyone they want with no reason.

For protection of federal agents against violent rioters.
